Marketplaces
Amazon in Germany and Sweden, Zalando, eBay, CDON and Miinto through their APIs or an integration platform.
Selling on several marketplaces runs straight into an obvious problem: one warehouse, many shop windows. Without central control the last unit gets sold twice, and the marketplace punishes the cancellation with fees and weaker visibility for your listings.
Publishing listings is the easy part. The real work is dividing stock sensibly between channels and keeping it current in near real time.
Amazon in Germany and Sweden, Zalando, eBay, CDON and Miinto through their APIs or an integration platform.
Titles, attributes, images and categories to each platform's rules, which all differ, and in the languages each one requires.
A single stock figure across your webshop and marketplaces, reserved the moment an order is placed.
Separate prices per marketplace that account for commission, shipping and currency.
Orders are pulled into your order management or accounting system and handled alongside all the others.
Tracking numbers go back automatically, and returns are registered so stock stays accurate.
The first marketplace usually takes one to two weeks. Later ones are quicker, even though each platform has its own rulebook.
We go through the marketplace's requirements for listings, dispatch times, returns policy and stock updates.
API connection, mapping of SKUs and EANs, and rules for allocating stock.
A complete cycle: order, reservation, dispatch, tracking number and status update.
Marketplaces change their rules and APIs regularly, so the integration needs steady attention.
The same product on different marketplaces must point to one record in your system. If the mapping is done by eye, stock figures drift apart and some items start leading a life of their own. Checking EANs and SKUs is dull but essential work before the next marketplace goes live.
With one marketplace and a handful of products, that works. Add a second and stock must be reconciled by hand, which makes mistakes inevitable. A shared integration usually pays for itself quickly through fewer cancellations and saved hours.
There are two models: one shared pool for all, or fixed allocations per channel. A shared pool uses stock most efficiently, allocations are safer for fast-moving lines. The choice depends on sell-through speed and how harshly each platform penalises cancellations.
Sales to consumers elsewhere in the EU usually carry VAT at the buyer's rate, and many sellers report it through the OSS scheme. The integration makes sure orders arrive with the correct country and VAT rate so your accounts can cope.
Tell us which marketplaces you want to sell on and where you manage stock and orders. We will unify the stock pool and bring the orders home.
